69. Black curved hook

In this Twilight Dream, Noland Lee doesn't need to catch his breath, nor does he consume physical strength. Even after running for a long time, he doesn't feel tired.

20 hours pass and he finally arrives at the mountain range beneath the mysterious figure. This journey has far exceeded his expectations.

Along the way, he comes across three strange incidents.

First:

The slender object suspending the mysterious figure in the air is not the "rope" he had imagined.

To be precise, it is not wrapped around the mysterious figure's neck. Instead, it is a pure black hook.

Noland Lee cannot determine its material, but he is certain that the black crescent-shaped hook pierces the figure's chin, coming out from the top of the skull. The hook has penetrated the mysterious figure's skull from bottom to top.

All of the figure's weight is placed on the curved hook, and there is no other place for support.

If the mysterious figure is still alive, they must be suffering immense pain.
